This room is currently the most utilized space in the library. There are 32 computers in the library, 20 in this space alone. Unfortunatley the computers have exceeded their 5 year warranty and tech services no longer provide free repairs. We plan to replace the computers and update the warrenty. We also feel that the room should be larger. The lighting is acceptable but while renovating the library we will put in more modern lighting fixtures

Why are you showing this photo? What makes it significant to your project? Where is it located on campus?
How many computers are in here, How new, how much is this room utlizied? How is this room ventilated?

I agree - please provide more reactions to these site photos - does this room work? are laptops and wireless access more likely going forward? is the lighting acceptable in this space? what would you change?

As far as the lighting, the lights used in the room are not florescent , there is no ventilation and most of the computers still rely on powerstrips, which can lead to breaker damage later on. We are going to install wi-fi in the new library for the laptops, since the wi-fi we currently have gets really slow when more than 15 people are on it. The room gets loud pretty quick, since it is in a very small space, and the a/c can't reach it.
